Jeremiah 5:7-9
Legacy Standard Bible
7 “Why should I pardon you?
Your sons have forsaken Me
And (A)sworn by those who are (B)not gods.
I had satisfied them to the full,
Then they (C)committed adultery
And trooped to the harlot’s house.
8 They were well-fed lusty horses,
Each one neighing after his (D)neighbor’s wife.
9 Shall I not punish [a]these people,” declares Yahweh,
“And on a nation such as this
(E)Shall I not avenge Myself?

Your children have forsaken me,
and they have sworn by those who are not gods.
But I fed them to the full,
and they committed adultery,
and flocked to the house of a prostitute.
8 They were well-fed lusty horses,
they neighed each to the wife of his neighbor.
9 Because of these things shall I not punish?” declares[b] Yahweh,
“and on a nation who is like this, shall I not take revenge?
